Kitchener Aerial Lift Certification

Kitchener Aerial Lift Certification - Aerial Lift Certification is for those who requires an in-depth understanding of aerial lift safety. Inspectors and operators, construction craftsmen, supervisors and maintenance workers need to perform a certificate and training program. State, federal and provincial regulations require companies to be certified in order to carry out in-house aerial lift checks.

Nearly all workers who are needed to work at elevated level would normally utilize the same means to get to these required heights, regardless of the type of work which needs to be carried out. Scissor lifts and aerial lifts are the mechanized devices used to lift equipment and workers to elevated sites.

Cherry pickers or bucket trucks are boom-supported aerial platforms. The primary dangers related to boom-operated platforms are falls, electrocutions, and tip overs. Certification makes sure that workers who use aerial lifts are correctly trained to safely operate the equipment. Training also guarantees that workers know how to maintain aerial work platforms in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer.

Aerial lift training certification programs would include the following: Vehicle-mounted aerial lifts, Boom-supported scissor lifts and aerial lifts. Trainees would learn about safe operating procedures and would gain an understanding about the dangers which often lead to aerial lift accidents. They will become technically competent in the various types of aerial lifts, as well as parts and terms. From interpreting rated capacity charts to choosing the best aerial lift for the job, the certification program would provide workers with all that they must know in order to safely carry out their work.

Those who are assigned the job of inspecting aerial lift devices need to know how to check gears, booms, structural parts, operating mechanisms, functions and control systems, power plants, braking systems, attachments, shafts and pins, hydraulic, pneumatic and electric components, emergency safety devices and operator aids, and so on. Training will consist of the following: the inspector's role in lessening accidents and liability exposure; monthly and annual check; how to perform a pre-use; how to write inspection reports; how to apply and interpret rules regarding aerial lift safety standards; inspection procedures, checklists and techniques; following record keeping requirements; understanding and applying the three levels of aerial lift inspection; and when to remove defective aerial lifts from service.
